Some recent Everglades paintings, including a very very late Kickstarter painting for a certain film critic.

The two "More Trees" paintings are sort of small and large versions of one another that I painted at the same time. Not sure why they came out looking different. Initially I didn't like the larger painting (#1) but I put it away and then brought it out a week later and thought; "oh, I do like it".

The Poisonwood Grove painting is another variation on the theme but minimalist. I want to try to do larger versions of this.

Speaking of larger, the painting below, Large Dark Prairie is the biggest watercolor I have done. Yes, it is only like 16x 12 but for me that is pretty big.....I am not sure it is done and I am not entirely sure it is good.

For many years I painted. Then I stopped. These paintings started out a sort of experiment. Even when I did paint I never did watercolor. I spent a lot of time trying to be Van Gogh painting oil. Most of the paintings were unfinished. I decided to start using watercolor based only on the recollections of what my father had tried to teach me years ago. The newer paintings are the more recent. If you go back to the beginning you can see the early stumbling ones.

I didn't start by drawing, I didn't practice. I just painted. I haven't included ALL the paintings and at some point I will post the first ones I did. But most of the paintings--for good or ill are here. Some are oil and also gouache.
